Based on the 30.06 necked down to a 6.5 mm ,,the .25 will do the job on deer and has killed many an elk...but more suitable for medium sized game like whitetail ..
Ballistics ,,fast and flat shooting even with different weight bullets,,
it's recommended that a person get the rifle of their choice with a barrel longer than 22 inches for velocity and also muzzle blast considerations.
115 grain Winchester Ballistic Silvertip deals a heavy blow out to around 200 yards. It's a 30-06 necked down to a .257. Not 6.5mm. That would be the badass 6.5-06 that outta have more popularity than it does. You sir are correct. But Mike was pretty close. 6.5mm. = 0.2559, less than a human hair different. A 6.5 Creedmoor is 0.2644 or 6.72mm.

That is the one caliber that I can’t believe hasn’t been given a cool name and put on the market. Seems like it would be wildly popular as crazy as everybody is these days over 6.5’s

Midway USA has 6.5-06 brass too. It should be called something cool like whild bill-06 or perch-06. Then it'd take off
